I am trying to convert datetime into timestamp but mysql is giving me warnings and also converted values are wrong. Here is SQL query

UPDATE table1 A, table2 B SET B.date_added=UNIX_TIMESTAMP(STR_TO_DATE(A.date_added, '%M %d %Y %h:%i%p')) WHERE A.id=B.id;

Warnings

I also tried following query but it shows 0000-00-00 00:00:00 in timestamp field.

UPDATE table1 A, table2 B SET B.date_added=UNIX_TIMESTAMP(A.date_added) WHERE A.id=B.id;

    Try this please:

    UPDATE table1 A, table2 B 
SET B.date_added = FROM_UNIXTIME(A.date_added) 
WHERE A.id=B.id

    Reference.
    It seems like you have an issue with the way you format date stammp.
    Also please look into this post: Should I use field 'datetime' or 'timestamp'?
